Because 'enemies' has been narrowly redefined to be a country we are at war with. You'll notice, of course, that we haven't declared war since ww2. It's all been 'police actions' and similar.

If you're a Republican, you're supporting this. You can claim you aren't on board all you want, but at the end of the day, you're supporting them.
Maybe don't, if you don't like what the Republicans party is doing with the support you've given them.
No, we did not accept any of it. There's been massive, colossal protests about it all in fact. We don't like this, and we've been TRYING to get it to stop.
The problem is that both parties, the media, and big tech companies are doing everything they can to normalize this shit and pretend that the protests are small, have no momentum, can't accomplish anything, and it's already too late.
It's not.
So what are those reasons, that make you think people should boycott Nintendo and not other companies, then?
Because I suspect most of them are not as legitimate as you might be thinking, and now I'm curious.
US citizens do not want this shit.
More to point, the idiots that voted for this while thinking it would happen are a very, very small minority.
And even then, it's looking reaaaal likely that a significant amount of those votes for this shit were faked.
Accelerationism in a nutshell.
There's also just a substantial number of people that were just astroturfers, I think.
There's been a LOT of crazy attacks on the switch 2 to try to 'justify' a boycott. I think my two favorite was that the gamechat button noise when you hit is actually saying saying a slur, or maybe that the rumble turns off after a while not to protect your hands from the rumble (which has been found to be bad for you), but because Nintendo cheaped out on a rumble motor that overheated too easily.
The switch 2 joycons don't have a rumble motor. Like, it's a whole thing they're super proud of, because it's so precise they just use the rumble really fast to play music instead of having a speaker.
Honestly, the whole idea of trying to boycott nintendo has pretty much always been over astroturfed bullshit, or just outright bullshit.
She's literally been a major feminist activist and UN ambassador for over a decade.
Trust me, we know. Feel free to hit american companies in their pocketbooks though. It's the only way they'll learn. And maybe they'll fuck off and get out of our government too.
Aww look, now the sealion is moving the goalposts.
We know what you are, go away.
Ah yes, the strawman that ignores context entirely. Nice.
See, if they weren't white, they would have been charged with greater crimes despite only 'attempting' to do this. And you know this.
Fuck off with your sealioning, you damn well know they're right.

They sue and go after emulation projects/ROM sites for modern content just as much as Microsoft and Sony do, MS/Sony just get a pass for some reason. Probably because people try to pirate current-gen content less for them, but they do the exact same thing every time it happens. Nintendo (and, it must be said, MS/Sony) don't really go after the old stuff for the most part. Also, it must be said that several times that emu/ROM sites were shut down and Nintendo was blamed it turned out it wasn't actually Nintendo. Same thing with that whole streaming copystrike issue- turns out it was some random company taking down gameplay videos, not Nintendo.
Sony already does this too, yet again they pretty much universally get a pass for making you permanently lose almost all (if not all) your stuff if you let your sub lapse. Even if you resub, you don't get it back.
In my opinion this is just a bad faith argument. Of course they're not putting their games on PC, they would cannibalize their own sales. Trying to pretend that you should boycott Nintendo for not actively destroying their own economic model is certainly A Take.
Entirely fair. My understanding is that they're getting better at this, but after the shitshow that was brawl that's a low fucking bar. I could point out that smash bros isn't actually Nintendo (it was HAL, then Sora, then Bandai) but like... lets be real here, it's Sakurai running the show, and Sakurai basically is working for Nintendo even if he isn't employed there lol.
